Testing

Testing became available in our community on May 1. If you have experienced symptoms of COVID-19 for more than 24 hours, call the Splatsin Health Centre for an assessment over the phone. A Nurse will navigate the most timely and appropriate testing services for you. Testing is done for band members at the Enderby Health Centre by appointment only on weekdays between 1-2 pm. Under special circumstances, a Splatsin Nurse may provide testing at your home.
